Next up on Ransom Note Records is the 'Serenade' EP, courtesy of the very talented @hereticuk. Three absolute dancefloor barnstormers + a remix from the equally talented @marlonhoffstadt, these tracks have been getting rinsed by the likes of Justin Robertson and Andrew Weatherall.

As one half of Eskimo Twins and also solo under his Heretic alias, Timothy 'Heretic' Clerkin has released on numerous labels including Relish, Days of Being Wild, NEIN and Throne of Blood. Marlon is a German DJ/producer who runs the Retrograde label alongside Natureboy Gold, and also launched his own Midnight Themes imprint last month with a new EP of original material.

We're very happy to be able to share Marlon's 'Infinity Mix' of 'Recursive' with you today. He turns the first section into an extreme tension building exercise, before the introduction of a whipcrack acid line. The second half is an entirely different beast, propelling itself full pelt into the distance while simultaneously gliding along on the softest synths imaginable.

With our core team immersed in all aspects of dance music, we publish news, articles, and interviews covering the greatest in innovative, underground culture from across the globe. We offer regular, exclusive music and mixtapes from our favourite artists, and publish features shining a light on everything from the freshest new artists to the untold tales from rave history.

Alongside this we offer musings on film, books, life, and art, generating some context and controversy as an antidote to the reheated PR that clogs up the internet. Our office is fuelled by Tunnock’s Bars, cat memes, hangovers and a ridiculous, never ending love for our culture.

We're always interested in getting new writers on board – feel free to get in touch if you’ve got a story to tell.

With love until the grave.

Ačas stood behind the DJ mixer for the first time more than 10 years ago at school's dance party. All through this time Ačas music style was changing a lot. A lot of influence had events in Opium club, Kablys, Lizdas and other venues in Lithuania. In 2019 he participated in funikulierius festival's DJ competition called "alio dj" to claim a spot on the main stage. With around 160 participants and few stages of competition he managed to finish in top 6 who were playing in the funikulierius'19 festival.
